Law enforcement officers banned the entry of an Italian who praised Putin for 3 years

“ Earlier, the border service drew attention to the post of a concerned citizen, which gained wide publicity in the network. When the 53-year-old foreigner, an Italian citizen, referred to in the post, arrived at the checkpoint, inspectors of the State Border Service conducted the necessary border control measures. According to the results of the inspection, he was refused entry to Ukraine and banned from entering Ukraine for 3 years. In fact, he has pro-Russian views, justifies the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, thereby violating the norms of Ukrainian legislation “, the post says .

Ukrainian Daria reported the incident on her Threads page. According to the girl, the post quickly gained popularity and collected more than 1.3 million views. She said that together with an Italian man and his wife, a citizen of Ukraine, she traveled by bus from Italy to Ukraine through the checkpoint “Chop (Tysa) – Zahon”. During a stop at the border, a man approached her and started a conversation in Italian. At first, he asked neutral questions, but later, according to Daria, he began to make disparaging statements about Ukraine and its leadership. “He started telling us what a bad country we have, what a bad president we have, and that he respects Putin and thinks he’s a good guy,” wrote the girl, who immediately passed off as a suspicious guy at the border.

The DPSU detained an Italian citizen named Rocco at the border for a check, who admired Putin and spoke disparagingly about Ukraine on the bus.
